I have figured out how to make smashing t-shirts! They are black with the gripology logo and the website. I'll attatch a picture soon. In order to win one of these five, limited adition Tees, you must email the name of ear piece of gear used in the gripology logo to gripologybook@yahoo.com. I'll give you a hint: The L is a frame corner. Good luck!

In my continuing quest to master the bloggisphear (wow, is that spelled right?), I have learned that you, the follower, can choose to be an anonymous user, which means I don't know you're there. So for all of you invisible followers, welcome and thank you for joining us here! Please feel free to drop me a line at gripologybook@yahoo.com so I can at least know you're there. Promise, no emails!

To everone, visable or otherwise, I would like to start an email list so that when Gripology hits the shelves, I can send you an email and let you know. I will not be sending you other emails, as I understand the pains of unsolisited junkmail. I get about 20 a day. Spam filter my fanny.

I am also working on making t-shirts with the gripology logo (and which won't run when they get wet) which I will be giving away in various contests. I'll probably wait untill I get a few more followers.

Okay, I've given up trying to load the image, so here's my laboriously re-written version . . . Ok, its only a few globes, but still. . . Now remember, these are all fresnels. If you have any you'd like to add, please post them! I do have a question, though. Whats the differnece between the Bi-Post, 2-Pin, and 2-post? My first inclination is to say they're just different words for the same thing, but I'm not quite sure. Anyone care to illuminate us? I had to pull this info from all over the place, so I think this is another case of terms gone wild. Check out the "Bayonett Base" and the "2 Contact Bayonett". Same thing? Any globe experts out there?

I've been trying to post a sample of my globe look up chart, but every time I try to upload it its blurry. I'll get it eventually. I'm also planning to have some promo posters available at Wooden Nickle by the end of the week, and will finally be carrying around some business cards.

About Me

My first experience in the entertainment field was on stage in my mom's belly during a community performance of the play "Cactus Flower" in Morocco, Africa. Since then I've continued to keep behind the scenes and in the dark.
After getting my feet wet on a few East Coast Interdependent films, I attended film school (well, film schools) and eventually graduated with a Theatre design Degree with a focus on Stage Lighting.
I stayed in the Washington DC area with my husband for a few years, working mostly as an Avid editor for corporate clients before deciding it was time to head for LA. The move out West brought me to my current place of employment, the growing boutique rental house Imagecraft Productions, in beautiful downtown Burbank.
It was here that I realized the need for a guide to grip and electric gear for those of us who aren't out in the field everyday. With their support, I've been able to talk to dozens of gaffers and grips about their field, and believe I have gathered one of the most comprehensive compendiums of stands, clamps and globes around.
